DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Ghana - Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband - Statistics and Analyses" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
This report provides a comprehensive overview of trends and developments in Ghana's telecommunications market. The report analyses the fixed-line, mobile and broadband sectors.
The internet market is highly competitive, with a large number of ISPs, though most subscribers are customers of only a few operators. While subscriber growth in the sector was for many years held back by the poor condition of the national fixed-line network and by the high cost of connectivity, the situation improved following the introduction of fixed-wireless and mobile broadband technologies and the vastly increased international bandwidth available. The government has also invested in building extensive fibre infrastructure in the Eastern and Western Corridors.
